Lived where, finally, six are raised with Ted (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

existed

'lived' is the definition.
('exist' can be a synonym of 'live')

'where finally six are raised with ted' is the wordplay.
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
'are raised' is a reversal indicator (going up in a down clue).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
The last letter of 'where' is 'e'.
'six' in reverse letter order is 'xis'.
'e'+'xis'+'ted'='EXISTED'

(Another definition for existed that I've seen is " Lived".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
